Mercurial Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I love how low the prices in the E3 trailer look so low if you've ever actually played EVE for any period of time. Though I am seriously interested in playing this and hiring myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicariousShaner Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 How much of the experience would one be missing out on if you were only to bother with the FPS? Would you say it's not worth it, in that case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) It's free to download and play so at least give it a whirl, but you could also give a EVE a try and if you want I got extended buddy trial codes. There is also a vita app type thing where you can buy equipment and a few other things when you're not near your PS3.

FredEffinChopin Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) I'm an ass, somehow I missed Dean's post with the link. Anyway, yeah, I'm pretty psyched to check this out. Edited May 18, 2012 by FredEffinChopin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterDex Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) http://www.eurogamer...4-in-real-money For those following along at home, if you die 250 times in top end gear, that'll cost you $60. If you purchase the items with real money. I don't see this being an issue for many people, or I hope it's not at least. It's going to be free to play so we know there has to be some sort of revenue stream for CCP. Also, since Eve players can use their own funds - or fund a friend - I think it should work out fine. The real question is whether the game itself will work out. I should check it out, no point ignoring that closed beta invite I have. Come to think of it, I may have another available if someone would like to try it out. Edited June 14, 2012 by MasterDex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I wouldn't mind. I think I'm signed up several times, though yet to see anything come through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 It looks like I might have been mistaken. Both my EVE accounts are registered to the same email address so there's only one Dust 514 beta offer by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Just got a beta invite...supposed to play it through this weekend. Don't remember signing a NDA..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I got 3 invites though I've used all of them already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I got an invite too. Kinda silly it's just this weekend. a fair chunk is gone already before I got the email (normally weekend betas you send the invite during the week before), and still got to download it all.

Vecha Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Played through a bit of it. Gotta say I'm a bit underwhelmed. They've already let people buy a shit ton of upgrades....so, some guys get some powerful implants/vehicles and wait by spawn points. I'll hold my judgement on if I should or should not play it down the road...but it is starting to look like it is suffering form pay2win. Maps aren't that great...24 players needs to be increased. Don't like the way the guns control... Also, graphics aren't so great(but I'd be find with it if they fixed the gameplay). Looks like I'll be sticking with Planetside 2 for the time being.

Vecha Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Just played a bit more day. It was a bit better...has much potential...Hope they iron it out through the beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Just played a bit more day. It was a bit better...has much potential...Hope they iron it out through the beta. Yeah, it definitely feels like it's in early beta stages. So far, it's been surprisingly good, but there's definitely some kinks that need to be worked out. I love the UI and interface, and the briefing room before battles is really neat with the scoreboard/players on the screen in the middle. I love the art style and look of the game, it's just balanced a little... oddly right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Most of the interesting stuff is "Soontm" with pretty much just the shooty bits in place atm. It is pretty neat, and the main part of the attachment to EVE is yet to happen (It's still running on EVE Test server atm not Trinity). And that's when the game is either going to totally fuck up or blow everyone's minds. My main issue is the game has a habit of dropping connection for me quite a bit. That definitely needs resolving. And they only have a few hundred people on atm, so it's not a server strain issue. Or if it is they're fucked. Shooting is neat, I have no idea what I'm doing, it's pretty bland visually but it's a console game so I'm not expecting all magic n sparkles, and definitely not something that looks like Tribes. The blandness fits EVE. So yeah, fun. It's free so not going to say no to it (unless it get's a severe case of Pay2Win), just hope they fix the dropping issue and learn how to do weekend betas in the future.

Vecha Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah...I'm mostly concerned with the overpowered peeps I've come across.... Really puts a bad taste in my mouth that they opened up the marketplace for power-up items during a beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Don't the aurum items just require less skill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
